City of Moberly replacing water main valve tomorrow

The City of Moberly has scheduled water main valve replacement work for tomorrow (Thursday, April 11), weather permitting.

The work will begin at 8 a.m., and will result in a boil order for the following inner-city areas (as well as “surrounding areas of these locations”):

• the 700 Block of Franklin St.

• the 300 and 400 Block of Hagood

• the 500 Block of Burkholder

• and the 800 Block of Bond.

Water service is expected to be restored around or before 3 p.m. on Thursday.

Per a press release sent by Moberly Utility Director Keith Phipps, “Residents are advised that due to the time required for testing to confirm water quality in the system, the boil order advisory will remain in effect for 48 hours.”

It is advised that if persons are experiencing low water pressure or have no water during this timeframe, that they will need to boil their water to avoid possible contaminants for 48 hours following the restoration of proper water services.
